The Exhibition is a result of a pilot "ceramic" residency project in cooperation with Eva Pelechová, launched under A.I.R. FUTURA program in the autumn last year. Charneux presents series of pastel ceramic objects abstracted from architecture. Associated morphology is however formally and materially disrupted and implemented into steel structures resembling some sort of scaffolding, supporting structures. Their surface treatment is another visual shift leading to similar ambiguity, disarray of the attributed identity.
